@@Pripyat Pony, @@Missklang, "Great Starclan..." Twigblaze muttered out loud. "I had no idea this rogue had been through so much. And he intended to return to Shadowclan after spending his time scaring innocent apprentices? Or, that's what I'm guessing he's passively suggesting..." The deputy was not completely adverse to the idea. A feeling that she hadn't had in a long time welled up inside of her: sympathy. A forest cat forced to live a life he did not wish to lead... that wasn't right. She glanced at Midnightstar, wondering how her leader would feel about this rogue's story. Featherfur muttered under his breath, but decided it was best to stand down. Obviously, this rogue wasn't really here to cause trouble, rather make a dramatic reappearance and a cowardly plea to be welcomed again by the clan cats.

Source: Help designing a cutie mark for new OC? Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone could help me with making a cutie mark for my latest OC? I'll provide credit always.

@@FullMetalParagon,@@The Down Trotten, @@DwhitetheGamer "I guess this is goodbye..." Sunrise said to Cyan, as she watched her friend pack a small rucksack full of preserved food, her bow and arrows, a small dagger, and other survival equipment. Cyan nodded, bouncing excitedly from hoof to hoof whilst also wearing a sorrowful expression. "Hopefully, not for the last time." Cyan shook the hoof of her best friend; "I'll try my very best. But in such a dangerous situation, I can't make you any promises." Cyan Flare looked over her shoulder once more, smiling a silent farewell to her friend, before facing the gate again. It would soon open, and anticipation was rising in Cyan's rapidly beating heart.

Cyan was slightly shocked when she heard the bell ring out, suddenly being flung back into reality after becoming so absorbed in her comic book. She folded the corner of the page she had reached, hurriedly reading the last sentence as she closed the book and put it in her bag. Nervously waving to the new students, Cyan glanced at Miss Cheerilee and looked around the classroom for Fudge and Sundae.

The gathering @@Summer Breeze, @@Ruby Splash, @@Pripyat Pony, @@Unicorncob, @@Missklang, @@Kankuro, @@EquestrianScholar, @@P-Jay Kitestar was glad that Silverstar had finally given her a chance to speak. The Riverclan leader exchanged a glance with her, and even he looked rather taken aback by the Windclan leader's arrogant ignorance. She tilted he head in annoyance, but kept her cool in this peaceful place. Angering Starclan would not be worth retorting angrily. "As you seem to already know, there is a sickness in Thunderclan..." Kitestar announced, still keeping an eye on the rogue as one Windclan warrior approached him. "And I will not mention any more than that, as that is all you need to know. I would simply advise not preparing any kind of raid; whislt this applies at all times, of course, you might get more than just injuries from any sick cats." "Anyway," the Thunderclan leader continued, hearing the words of the rogue who had interrupted their gathering. "I think it's about time someone dealt with this strange cat over here." Hopping down from where she sat as a leader, she stalked over to the rogue, enmity evident in her gait alone. "What are you playing at, rogue?" Featherfur spat, malice dripping from his tone. "Trying to be all friendly and soft? Scram - or I'll kill you right in front of Starclan." Thunderclan camp @@The Cerberus,@@Sunset light The apprentice watched from the apprentices' den, rather shaken up. He observed as the rogue cat who had escaped from the medicine cat's den faced Owlheart after the warrior had taken the cure from him. Then, he cast a glance over to Moonshine's den to see Slumberfur, having just woken up from a strange dream by the looks of him, talking to the medicine cat. 'What in Starclan's name is going on here...?'

@@Sunset light, You are not doing bad; I just agree with what most people are saying, sorry. I'm alright with your character being experienced, a great fighter, and possibly knowing things that the other warrior cats would not, but I do think it's going a little far looking at what I missed while I was gone. What I'm thinking... Having the cure is alright. We don't know what it could be made of, so we'll say it's natural materials liquidized and contained in a glass vial your character found. Needles, maybe, not so much. But I suppose I'll let that slide, for the sake of the cure being administered. However, dart and metal claws, I don't think make much sense. I suppose if your character was modified by humans, possibly... But still, your character does appear to be a bit of Gary Stu. I advise that you tone it down a little, as this wouldn't really happen in Warrior Cats. I apologize for any inconvenience. And, I'm sorry for bringing this up, but I don't really want to see anybody acting towards Sunset Light in a way which could be deemed... rude, maybe. So, we'll agree that Owlheart is currently in possession of the cure, and Scarclaw is threatening him? I'll post soon.

@@Ruby Splash, "Silverstar, neither of us would even consider bringing a cat we know to be ill to this peaceful gathering," KItestar replied, keeping her cool. "Don't jump to conclusions." 'I'm not that stupid...' she thought. 'But what did happen to Slumberfur?' Twigblaze ashed her tail from left to right in annoyance at the Windclan leader's accusations, even if they were against a different clan. She rolled her eyes - this appeared to be becoming a habit of her's.

Suppose I'll be adding the two characters I had! Changed the appearance of Ocean a little. Name: Ocean Ryder Race: Snow leopard Gender: Female Age: 19 Appearance: Ocean is a short, and slightly plump and curvy. She has light lavender fur speckled with darker rosettes, and a long, puffy tail. Her fluffy ears are quite round and scruffy, accompanying her shoulder-length, dark lavender (with soft blonde highlights), unkempt hair and tomboyish fashion sense. Ocean has a tendency to wear black band t-shirts and spangled leggings, as well as a velvety dark hoodie and short buckled boots. Skin/Coat color: Pale lavender Eye color: Cobalt blue Hair color: Dark lavender, blonde streaks Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): English and writing Orientation: Questioning Personality: Ocean is very bubbly and outgoing, but only around friends and family. She can be very awkward around those she hasn't gotten to know, so finds it difficult to make new friends. She isn't one to strike up conversations herself, although once she has started talking she never wants to stop; she is also intelligent, and knows a lot about many topics. She greatly appreciates time to herself, to visit her favourite sites, watch videos and listen to music, and write stories and songs - on the other paw hand, Ocean can't bear the feeling of total lonesomeness. Ocean is something of a walking contradiction, with many clashing elements compiling her personality. Backstory: Ocean grew up with her mother, father, and brother in a nearby city. She went through a few personal struggles, but got a good education and made several close friends. From a young age, she loved reading and writing. Name: Savannah Hart Race: Wolf Gender: Female Age: 20 Appearance: (But an anthro version, of course, wearing a red tank top and maroon shorts.) Skin/Coat color: Black, white, yellow Eye color: Red Hair color: Black with one red highlight Major(Doesn't have to be related to talent): Dance Orientation: Heterosexual Personality: Savannah is very outgoing and quite confident, much unlike her best friend Ocean. She can be a little cocky at times, but refrains from attempting to offend most individuals - except when they impolite towards her. Her snappy nature and quick wit allow her to rapidly counter any insult thrown her way, but she can often say some words that she regrets uttering later. Savannah usually puts up a logical and valid argument, though. She tends to be happy but is always one to brood about both her problems and her friends and family's. Backstory: Savannah began her life in the countryside, being raised by her mother, but they soon moved to the city where she attended high-school. She always had a great interest in performing arts, dancing in particular.

Hi! I was wondering if any kind artist could help me create a cutie mark for my newest OC, Scuba Shores. This is what she looks like: She is a pony who spends as much time as possible at the beach. She works as a scuba diving instructor, and researches marine wildlife and plants, even being featured on several shows about the subject. This is what I would like her cutie mark to be based around; I'd design it myself if I wasn't so lazy bad at art without pretty much a direct image reference. I don't really want to be bossing anyone who's sweet enough to create my own character's cutie mark for me, so I'll say my only specifications are that I would like the cutie mark to involve a seashell and a starfish, and/or a scuba mask in some way. Sorry for bothering anybody! Just wanted to use something with a little more to it than clipart. I will always give credit.

Hi! Could you possibly be able to draw Cyan Flare for me? There are quite a few reference pictures on my profile. Loving your art, so nice! Thank you in advance.

The gathering, night @@Unicorncob Kitestar heard Owlheart suggest helping Slumberfur back to camp, to be tended to by Moonshine. "Yes, of course..." she replied. "Owlheart, would you mind taking him? Darkpaw, you go, too. You are Slumberfur's apprentice, after all, and he'll likely need more help." 'What in Straclan's name is happening today?' Kitestar thought. 'First, we must say goodbye to an unfortunate, sick warrior... Then, a rogue arrives in the camp promising he has some sort of cure... At the gathering another one shows up and interrupts our peaceful meeting; poor Slumberfur collapses...' It had been a mad day today, indeed, but the leader kept focussed on her passed-out clanmate. There was something... different... about what had happened to him.

The gathering, night @@Pripyat Pony, @@Kankuro, "Darkfur-" Kitestar began, but the warrior was soon gone. She narrowed her eyes as she watched him make his way over the tree bridge and back to camp - his gait seemed to show no trace of a limp, causing her to feel slightly curious. Shaking off the feeling, she decided to ask her deputy to possibly follow him, to ensure he would be alright. "Poppyfur, would you kindly go after Dakrfur and make sure he gets back to camp safely?" she asked. Thunderclan camp @@Sunset light, @@Summer Breeze The apprentice was relieved to see a Thunderclan warrior burst into camp, an unsettled look on his face. "Help!" he called to Darkfur, also causing the other cats poke their heads worriedly out of their dens to look his way. Darkfur stood between him and the rogue now, and he fled to the opposite side of the Thunderclan camp. The gathering, night @@Unicorncob, "Not too sure... possibly," Twigblaze nodded at Owlheart's theory about the Windclan leader's snappiness, then followed his gaze to spot the disdainful glance the Thunderclan leader was shooting them both. She rolled her eyes. @@The Cerberus, Tilting her head with anxiety and confusion at Slumberfur's sudden collapsing, Kitestar quickly ordered several warriors and apprentices of her clan to help the warrior. They surrounded him curiously, nervousness evident in their eyes. "He appears to be out cold," one elder informed the alarmed Kitestar. She contemplated hopping down from where she sat to see to her clanmate, suddenly wishing that the medicine cat, Moonshine, could be here.

Well, I don't really mind. Plot twists are welcome, and involving Starclan is alright. It'll be cool to see what you have in mind.

Cyan Flare waved to Copper as he took to the stage, preparing to sing. She did not know him all that well, but from what she could tell so far, he was a nice pony. "Well..." she said to Golden Spell once Copper Strikes stepped onto the stage. "That could have gone a little better..." "Why, I think it went well," Golden replied. "There were bound to be one or two miscalculations throughout, especially with us - you, and the animals - being as nervous as that. Do not worry, you did exceedingly well in my eyes. And the eyes of the audience, I do think." Cyan smiled and then let her gaze drift to focus on the stage. She couldn't wait to hear what kind of music Copper Strikes would sing.

The apprentice's eyes shone with fear, glinting in the light of the full moon. He gritted his teeth and tried to push the rogue away, unsheathing his small, sharp claws and scratching at his fur, but to no avail. "Why... do you want to know?" he managed to say. "And please... don't hurt me! We offered you shelter... we said you could stay in our camp..."

"Two hours..." Cyan Flare repeated to herself, almost silently. "Two hours to say goodbye to my best friend... everypony I know... and possibly for the last time..." A sudden pang of sorrow hit home. She flicked her bright pink and blue tail nervously from side to side, wondering if she would actually return from this expedition. The experience of a lifetime - the chance to help everypony be free again - could end in tragedy. Suddenly, however, she found herself chuckling slightly. "Golden Spell," she began, half to herself and partially to the others beside her, "would never go up there. Not in a million years... that coward..." A sad fondness tainted her tone. She hadn't a clue if her brother was alright; she had not seen her family since she was separated from them as filly, during a Windigo attack. Shaking her head, clearing her mind, Cyan concluded that, seeing as she had no choice, really, she would march out into the cold world of the surface with enthusiasm, hope, and determination. Putting on a brave face, she prepared to bid her closest friend farewell, and get to know those who would be accompanying her to explore the 'white wasteland of the surface' as the mayor called it.

The gathering, night @@Unicorncob, "Yes, unfortunately," Twigblaze replied to Owlheart. "Wait... too? Are you saying that Thunderclan has been affected by this horrible illness? I hadn't a clue." Twigblaze kept an eye on the rogue, though she considered the situation of no concern to her. She recognised the cat, most certainly - from earlier today, in fact - but it appeared that the other cats closer to him had him under control. Surely, there wasn't anything he could do to hurt so many skilled cats? @@Pripyat Pony @@Summer Breeze @@Kankuro @@Missklang @@The Cerberus, Kitestar glanced at all of the Thunderclan cats, casting a slight look of disdain Owlheart's way at seeing him socialising so much with the Shadowclan she-cat, but soon turned back to the rogue. "Maybe I would prefer not to attack the rogue in Starclan presence. A situation such as this is not one I am familiar with, therefore we cannot be sure whether Starclan will appreciate any sort of violence, even involving a rogue," she replied to Silverstar, not even looking the Windclan leader's way. "Besides, it looks as if one of your cats has it handled..." Moontail looked around again, this time spotting a pair of curious eyes reflecting in the moonlight in the bushes across the fallen tree bridge. Luckily for Jinx, only a cat like the Riverclan medicine cat, who was actually searching for such a sight, would have spotted her. Featherfur cast a glare up at Kitestar for a second, knowing who she was talking about to Silverstar. His eyes then fell again upon the strange rogue. Thunderclan camp @@Sunset light, The guarding cats fell to the ground, alarming a nearby apprentice. "What in Starclan's name..." he began. "E-everyone's out at the gathering... W- well... Not - not everyone. Some cats are still ri- right here!"

Thank you! And yeah, hopefully I'll be a member of this wonderful community for that long!

Never had it, but would like to. Sounds nice... So yum! Vegetable samosas?

*hug* thank you! You've been a great friend yourself.

The gathering @@Unicorncob, "Hmm... what do they you're going to do, head back to Shadowclan?" Twigblaze scoffed. "I suppose I can understand Thunderclan's weariness. I suppose that Kitestar must appreciate your warrior skills and trust you well, though." @@Pripyat Pony, Twigblaze flinched slightly as she heard Midnightstar mention the illness which was devastating Shadowclan, but it seemed that something else was on Silverstar's mind. @@Ruby Splash, @@P-Jay Moontail raised an eyebrow at the Windclan leader's request to increase the boundaries of her clan's territory. Evidently, the Riverclan leader was not all too pleased by this, although he did not say 'no'. "I do suppose it was never our territory..." he contemplated. "And I see why you would need more materials to improve your dens. But, as you said, you have been hunting well and have been working on those dens, so I do doubt you need the horseplace too much; nor do I think you deserve it, after your... slight ignorance." Moontail detected the slightly more careful tone of her leader's voice. It took a lot for him to speak as if treading on eggshells, but he evidently didn't want to anger Silverstar, and therefore Starclan. Her nose twitched and she kept turning her head, scanning the undergrowth repeatedly for the kittypet she had met earlier. @@The Cerberus, @@Summer Breeze, @@Kankuro, @@Missklang, Kitestar nodded to Silverstar, acknowledging the leaders of Windclan's warning about the fox; "ah, yes, I think we scented it, too, not too long ago. We shall keep an eye out." She elected not the reply to Silverstar's request to Riverclan. It would likely not affect Thunderclan too much. Suddenly, Kitestar found herself being interrupted by the abrupt appearance of a rogue cat. She hissed with alarm, then glared down from her spot at the cat. "Hello..." she replied carefully. "Who might you be? And what are you doing here, rogue?" Featherfur's hackles were raised as he stalked through the crowd of other cats, spitting with hostility the new arrival, spitting with hostility at the rogue. He unsheathed his needle-sharp claws, baring his pointed teeth and flicking his tail back and forth angrily. His eyes were narrowed to slits. "A rogue? Who do you think you are, invading the peaceful meeting of the cats that actually have clans?"

Actually, I was just listening to the Undertale song 'Chara' by MandoPony. Awesome tune. I've recently become a massive fan of Undertale. My friend kept on urging me to play it, until I eventually checked out some videos and decided that I would; now, I'm so glad I did. I mean, what an experience; the ending of pacifist route (the only route I've completed, presently) was so emotional, and very powerful - the only reason I didn't shed a tear is because my aforementioned friend was sitting right next to me. And don't even get me started on the soundtrack!
